Rinse the papaya seeds under cold water to remove any remaining papaya pulp. Set aside.
Peel and finely chop the small shallot.
In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh papaya seeds, papaya flesh, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, lime juice, salt, ground black pepper, chopped shallot, and water.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and emulsified. This will take about 1-2 minutes.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or honey if needed.
Pour the dressing into a jar or container with a lid for easy storage.
Chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Serve over your favorite salad or use as a marinade for grilled meats or vegetables. Enjoy!
